Also, I think they only was it might work is if Steven were spelled with a V but obviously you wouldn't want to change the spelling given the circumstances. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nickname-for-stephen-take-two#post-1037768 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 19:17:28 +0000 cheesetomywhine 1037768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rawrasaur: Thank you! It is somewhat odd to think of since I call R by her full first name and her first and middle quite often so I am not actually sure if I would use a nickname. Silly things one focuses on I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nickname-for-stephen-take-two#post-1037763 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 19:14:34 +0000 rawrasaur 1037763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know someone named Oliva who goes by Libby - this seems similar to me, so I think it works. As long as everyone calls him by his nickname, it isn't a big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nickname-for-stephen-take-two#post-1037746 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 19:10:48 +0000 cheesetomywhine 1037746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: @lindseykaye: I'm not particularly fond of Tripp or Trey but I appreciate the suggestions!</p> <p>@Pink Champagne: I agree with you...I have mentioned that name in passing but it was vetoed. Luckily we have plenty of time (if we even ever have a boy!) and we do have another name but DH would love a III so I am trying to compromise. </p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: The middle is not our style...a common name and his cousin named her little guy it. Thank you though!</p> <p>I appreciate the comments. I really do like the name Stephen, it is just a little bit of an overload. And since my name is quite uncommon I feel like we would be totally unoriginal. Not that this matters but when we had R (team green) and mentioned we might do a III if a boy a good amount of people told us to give him his own identity. Silly opinions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nickname-for-stephen-take-two#post-1037623 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:42:43 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1037623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: I have one too. My guy best friend is Steph. Some people get confused he is not a girl if I just mention his name in passing. </p> <p>@grizz: Yep, I know alot of Treys.</p> <p>Vinny is a stretch IMO. Could you use the middle name? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nickname-for-stephen-take-two#post-1037601 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:38:14 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1037601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ehh not sure about Vinny but if it works for you and fits your son then ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nickname-for-stephen-take-two#post-1037599 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:38:05 +0000 Boheme 1037599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I love Tripp! </p> <p>I also know some IIIs who go by Tre or Trey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nickname-for-stephen-take-two#post-1037590 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:36:51 +0000 Pink Champagne 1037590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vinny to me is a nickname for Vincent. Sorry.</p> <p>I like MsLipGloss's suggestion. Or, if FIL and DH go by Steve, just call LO Stephen and let people know you're not nicknaming him. You're probably going to call him some cute baby nickname for the first year or two of his life anyway, I call my LO Boo-Bear or Bubba. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nickname-for-stephen-take-two#post-1037588 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:36:35 +0000 anbanan15 1037588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A family friend goes by Steph.</p> <p>I sort of :heart: @MsLipGloss: suggestion! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nickname-for-stephen-take-two#post-1037578 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:34:55 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1037578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brothers name is Stephen! I've never considered the idea f a NN for Stephen, other than Steve.</p> <p>Chloe calls him teeve. :P that's as close to a NN he's come! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nickname-for-stephen-take-two#post-1037577 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:34:55 +0000 lindseykaye 1037577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it could work but better if it were spelled with a V (Steven). Have you considered nicknames associated with him being a 3rd? Something like Trey? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nickname-for-stephen-take-two#post-1037566 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:32:54 +0000 MsLipGloss 1037566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about giving him a nickname that is representative of the fact that he is a III, like Tripp. . . . ? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nickname-for-stephen-take-two#post-1037518 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:25:40 +0000 cheesetomywhine 1037518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked awhile ago if Finn could work as a nickname for Stephen. The answer was mostly a yes. However my aunt got a puppy and named him...Finn! There goes that idea. </p> <p>I am not pregnant but my husband would like to name a boy, if we are blessed with one, after him. This would make the baby a III. My FIL lives with us. Because of this I feel like we have a lot of Steve's and that adding one more is kind of redundant. </p> <p>I was thinking of potential nicknames and Vin(ny) popped out. Does this work? </p> <p>Again, this is still just hypothetical but I am curious if anyone else can see this working. If we were to have a boy and name him that I would probably alternate between calling him Stephen and Vin(ny).</p> <p>Thank you in advance for any thoughts! </p>
